Johnson Bilge Pump Wiring Plan

I was inspired by the horrific diagram in the Instruction Manual for my Johnson Cartridge Duo and another blog post to draw something that others might find a bit more approachable. I’m using my existing Rule #41 control switch, which is included in the diagram, but it’s the same for others too. Anyway, here it is, in all it’s artistic glory!

I hope it’s helpful to someone...
